anyway, joining me now is my msnbc colleague, karen finney, host of "disrupt." anks for joining us, karen. i guess my first question after stumbling my way through that is if obamacare is going to have coverage for teleprompter reading coverage. i think i'm on my own for that. a milestone, a month, two months ago, nobody thought we were going to hit. clearly the headlines are good for obamacare. the headlines are good for the administration. i can't help but think, though, since five years ago when this was working its way through congress, enactment, a couple of election, i keep hearing we finally reached that milestone where people are going to start saying, yes, i like this law, i'm feeling the benefits. i'm seeing it's working. i'm sure it's 49% support right now, but that point seems elusive. when is that point going to actually get here, you think? >> i think we're actually getting there because if you take a look at the kaiser poll from last week, there was some pretty interesting stuff doing on in the numbers which showed that people are tired of the figh

joining me karen finney host of disrupt, lgbt activist kathy renna and richard kim my colleague at thetive editor of thenation.com. i think the story is fascinating for a number of reasons. one it appears mayor contends it has nothing to do with sexual orientation. but let's say at least the perception is that it's amazing to me that "a" she was there for 20 years and no one seems to say boo. and "b" that the town seems to be rallying around her. and i think you have this big city liberal idea of what their views are in south carolina. it's like here's south carolina in 2006 residents voted 78% in favor of outlawing gay marriage. by 2013 only 52% of south carolina residents say gay marriage should be against the law. that is amazing and that is what is that six years or seven years? >> the thing is also across the country, employment discrimination has always polled very, very high. there's been something like 70%, 80% support across the country for the employment nondiscrimination act. even in a state like alaska there's an executive order saying you cannot discriminate against gay pe
